Chiitan is fucking shooting transphobes out of the sky. Portland is run by a frog militia. The furries will save us.

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

For like 2 months reddit for me has been nothing but different subreddits filling out alignment grids of their respective IP's characters and it seems like overnight everyone got tired of it

Wishbone is the best show about what it would be like if great literary figures were always showing hole but no one acknowledges it

CQ Christiansen @charlesque.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah, it's actually pretty fundamental to our understanding of behavioral psychology to realize that punishment and reinforcement are not equal complements/opposites. We process those incentives differently.

Why hasn't anyone on the left thought of getting their political projects funded by billionaires? Are they dumb?

My hot take is that Bari Weiss is an extremely effective specific kind of propagandist because the free press produces relatively factual deporting, but is relentlessly *laser focused* on issues that are wedges in the enemies coalition. Rather than dismissing her should be thinking about how to copy

Brendan Nyhan @brendannyhan.bsky.social · 7d

This. She's not far right but she's directionally anti-left.

AT Proto has become a sort of ideological vaporware; a way for Jay Graber et al to run a social media platform while claiming they don't run a social media platform. This is just another iteration of the Silicon Valley monoproduct: power without accountability.

I guess we all underestimated how many comedians just wanted to be court jesters for kings.

These complaints never really deal with the fact that TPUSA is funded in a way that is inaccessible to the left (by conservative billionaires). There can not be a left's equivalent of Charlie Kirk, because moneyed interests don't want that.

Ezra Klein liked and admired Charlie Kirk, who hated my trans child, so I'm going to view this as a display of true Ezra's character. You can apply this to every single centrist/liberal pundit or publication celebrating him. Got it. Message received.

It's odd how little people seem to care about who killed him. Maybe it's just the initial shock, but I feel like in every other high-profile shooting there was rampant speculation about the shooter, and I havent seen much of that yet.

Marisa Kabas @marisakabas.bsky.social · Sep 11

i do not think it can be overstated at this point that we do not know who killed charlie kirk or why they did it.

I simply do not believe that jk Rowling had not seen aaah real monsters before starting to write Harry Potter.

The best entertainment to be had from this man is just from imagining his reaction throughout the entirety of the Superman movie.

Its up there with JD Vance getting shut down by the Pope.

I pride myself on genuinely trying to understand other people, but when any conversation gets within 30 yards of this movie I have to bow out.

I've just accepted that it's a movie about aliens, for aliens.

The New Yorker @newyorker.com · Sep 10

Nobody in “Moonstruck” behaves reasonably. And yet it feels completely true to people as they are: ridiculous and passionate, in search of answers, and taking what they can get.

“Moonstruck” Knows That the Best Things in Life Aren’t Chosen

If the movie has a clear through line, it is about things that are wrong getting made right, a winding process that often involves committing some new wrongs along the way.

It was supposed to make things more accessible, but now they will offload all its flaws onto lack of 'AI fluency', rather than make it work like they say it does.

#AI #Crypto
OpenAI wants to certify 10M Americans in AI fluency by 2030, launching a jobs platform to rival LinkedIn. As AI reshapes work, crypto offers the same promise—skills, freedom, and opportunity without gatekeepers. The future belongs to the decentralized.
